50% of migraine sufferers say that weather make their migraines worse!
It's summertime and for many of us, we've already have seen record high temperatures this season. I know that for me changes in the weather are a major migraine trigger. So dealing with high temperatures, high humidity, wind and barometric changes can wreck havoc on my migraines.
Why does the weather make migraines worse?
While migraine headaches are thought to be associated with genetic disorders, external factors do play a role. Environmental changes related to migraines are:
- Temperature changes
- High humidity
- Stormy weather
- Extremely dry conditions
- Bright lights and sun glare
- Barometric pressure changes
Some experts say that those who suffer from migraines and headaches have a lower threshold for pain. Thus we are more sensitive to changes in the environment. As migraine sufferers we have some changes in the perception of external stimuli including vision, hearing, smell, sensations of touch, temperature, body position, and pain recognized through neural receptors in the skin and certain internal organs.
Here are some examples you might be familiar with:
Light sensitivity
Studies have shown that almost 50% of migraine sufferers say that their migraines increased in frequency during the summer months. It is likely that the increased sunlight during the summer causes increased headaches in many migraine sufferers. One theory is that migraine sufferers have an increased sensitivity to light as a result a dysfunction in part of the brain that releases melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that is important is regulating circadian rhythms. In addition, exposure to light suppressed melatonin levels in migraine sufferers more than non migraine sufferers.
Barometric pressure
One study found that even small changes in the barometric pressure triggered a headache. It is thought that decreases in barometric pressure, which often occurs during the summer months, causes the blood vessels in the brain to dilate. This can trigger a release of serotonin. Serotonin causes the blood vessels to constrict. At this point you might start to have migraine symptoms like aura, mood changes and food cravings. When serotonin levels decrease, then the blood vessels dilate again and this leads to the head pain. One study found that lower barometric pressure 48 to 72 hours before triggered a headache.
High Temperatures
Another study found that higher temperatures contribute to migraine and headaches. The study found that out of all the environmental factors, high temperatures in the previous 24 hours were the most closely associated to headache symptoms. There was a 7.5% higher risk of migraine for each temperature increase of 5 degrees Celsius or 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
What can help?
While we can't control the weather, we can certainly prepare ourselves so that we can enjoy the summer months with less headaches. Here are a few products and ideas that can help you get through the summer months migraine free!
- Know what the weather will be like.

It displays barometric pressure, temperature and humidity levels indoors and outside, dew point, barometer, time and date, and shows daily weather forecasts that help you manage your headaches. When you know what the weather is doing you can bring extra medication if needed to manage your headaches.
- Protect your eyes from the sun.
Since we are more sensitive to sunlight we need to protect our eyes from the sun.

These work great in reducing glare and protecting your eyes from the sun.
- Stay Hydrated.
Dehydration from high temperatures, high humidity and sweating can increase headaches and migraines. Stay super hydrated by drinking water regularly, reducing your intake of caffeinated drinks, eating fruits and veggies high in water content like watermelon, celery, etc. Keep a water bottle with you to help you drink more often.
- Avoid exercising in the heat.
Move your work or exercise inside during the summer months. Protect yourself as much as possible by avoiding exertion outdoors in the heat.
- Prepare yourself for travel.
Make sure you prepare well for the summer weather when traveling. Prepare a migraine kit with the following items:

Eastern Star Country Club & Resort Description
The links-style course at Eastern Star, located near the Gulf of Thailand, is one of only five courses in Thailand designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The Pattaya golf course is set on 530 acres of land and meanders through lovely residential areas of Eastern Star Country Club & Resort.
The course features wide fairways and hundreds of coconut palm trees and is a popular local favorite. The gently undulating fairways and greens feature 65 bunkers, 11 lakes and more than 2,200 coconut palm trees. The golf resort is conveniently situated just 2 kilometers from the sea ensuring a constant cooling breeze. Like a true links course, it is only slightly above sea level in altitude.
Eastern Star has been the venue for local and regional golf tournaments. It offers plenty of challenge for the experienced golfer, but also offers enjoyment for beginners. This Pattaya golf course is a "thinking man's course" that can be successfully navigated with a little strategy and well-positioned shots. Tall mature coconut trees and some mango trees define the holes, enhanced by areas rich in flowers. There are numerous dog legs and a lot of water along the 18 fairways of Eastern Star.
The golf course can play quite long, particularly from the championship blue tees. The signature hole is the picturesque par 3 thirteenth, which lulls players into admiring the scenery. An accurate tee shot over water is required so as to stay out of the deep bunker or the lake on the right of the green. The key is play to the center of the green or slightly to the left. Too far left however, is sand and deep rough. Over the green gives entails negotiating a difficult down-hill putt. If the hole appeared intimidating from the tee, look back from the green for an entirely different perspective.
With open fairways this is surely a course to suit beginner and experienced golfers alike. There is a good practice area and driving range in addition to a basic clubhouse providing a wide range of facilities such as an Olympic sized beach pool, tennis courts and locker rooms. The restaurant, like most Thai golf courses, services a wide range of dishes at reasonable prices. Try a fruit smoothie for a great after the round beverage.

Popcorn has one of those enticing smells that makes you drop just about anything you're doing and rush to the kitchen to be sure you get your share. We never seem to outgrow this infatuation. No matter what kind of newfangled treats entice us at the movies and football games, we still keep reaching for popcorn.
Maize, or corn itself was domesticated from a wild grass nearly 9,000 years ago in Mexico. From there, corn found its way to Central and South America, and along the way hundreds of distinct types "popped" up. Maize cobs and husks from archaeological sites prove that Pre-Columbian indigenous peoples had domesticated the popcorn variety of corn by 5000 B.C. In Peru, for example, even though the ancients didn't have microwave ovens and multiplex movie theaters, they certainly had popcorn. In fact, researchers digging in Peruvian tombs have uncovered 1,000-year-old grains of popcorn so well preserved they still pop.
The Aztecs of the early 16th century not only ate, but also adorned themselves with popcorn. Young women would wear garlands of the stuff and perform what explorer Bernardino de Sahagun writes was a "popcorn dance." Popcorn was also strung into ceremonial headdresses and necklaces, and was used to ornament statues of Aztec gods.
In North America, radio carbon dating proves that ears of popcorn found in the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico are about 4,000 years old.
When Columbus stumbled upon the West Indies, Arawak and Carib Indians were using popcorn for decorations and food, while French explorers in the Great Lakes region learned how to pop corn from Iroquois, who performed the task by heating pottery crocks in hot sand.
The Iroquois also made a hot cereal by boiling pounded popcorn in water until thick, and added cream and syrup. American colonists, too, ate this whole grain for breakfast, but they served theirs as plain old popcorn topped with milk and sugar.
Early popcorn lovers likely popped their corn while it was still on the cob. And tossing individual kernels into heated sand or directly onto hot rocks also seemed popular.
The earliest popcorn popper dates back to pre-Inca cultures in Peru, while the first mobile popcorn machine was invented in Chicago in 1893. Soon after, pushcart popcorn vendors were following potential customers in America's streets, and they also camped out where crowds assembled, such as movie theaters.
Then in 1925, Montana inventor Charles Manley perfected the electric popper, which was embraced by movie theater owners, thereby fusing together one of the most successful marriages in culinary history.
Way back when, some Native Americans believed angry spirits dwelled inside each mysterious kernel. But the reason this variety of corn explodes is because its hull has just the right thickness to allow the insides to burst out.
Each kernel of popcorn contains a small drop of water inside a circle of soft starch, which is surrounded by the kernel's hard outer surface. As the kernel heats up, the water expands and turns into steam, and the starch inside becomes a gelatinous goop.
As the kernel reaches about 347 F, the pressure inside forces the hull to open and explode, resulting in a funky shape that's 40-50 times the grain's original size.
Americans eat 16 billion quarts of popped corn per year, amounting to a whopping 51 quarts per person. And we're popping about 70 percent of that at home, especially in the fall, when crunching on popcorn seems to lessen the agony of a stressful football game. So as you gather friends and family into your living room to cheer on the Saints or your favorite college team, don't forget the popcorn.
And if Brees gets sacked or those gnarly Falcons get lucky, your guests will at least have something delicious to lessen the pain.

Experts say spectrum pilfering is going to become a major industrial problem as software-defined radio becomes more prevalent. Software-defined radio allows frequencies and bands to be simply altered in a device through coding rather than via expensive hardware changes.
Locating and detecting thieves who are looting bandwidth on radio spectrum could become easier, however, once a crowdsourcing project gets going.
+ Also on Network World: Auto thieves adopting cybercrime-like tactics +
The National Science Foundation will be investing $1 million over three years in a poaching detection project led by researchers at the University of Utah, School of Computing.
With this project, mobile phone and laptop users will be tasked with collecting data about bandwidth use, using software that runs in the background, the university says in a release on its website.
"We crowdsource for business startups, art projects, inventions, even families in need. So why not ask cell phone users to contribute in helping catch high-tech thieves?" it says.
Bandwidth theft could become a big problem. Hackers will likely realize the value of spectrum as the Internet of Things, communications and massive big data collection kicks into gear.
"Once you have that software-defined radio capability, hackers will write all kinds of bad apps for them," says Professor Sneha Kumar Kasera, who is leading the project.
Indeed, some say malware could be used to bring communications systems to their knees once software-defined radios are in widespread use.
"Imagine terrorists using malware to attack software-defined radios that clog up emergency-services radio frequencies in the time of a crisis," the university says.
Crowdsourcing to catch a thief
It believes it has a solution, though: "Everyday users of cellphones and laptops could aid authorities in catching these kinds of hackers."
And crowdsourcing would be behind the system.
"All devices with built-in radios can receive signals within a certain frequency range. When someone with a phone or laptop briefly runs Kasera's software, it could tell authorities if a hacker is using unauthorized bandwidth of a certain frequency range and at what strength it's being transmitted," it explains.
Triangulation could then be used then to catch the frequency misappropriation as the heist occurs. That method is indeed used to catch abusers today: An administrative body, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) triangulates a position and then obtains a search warrant to pounce on the bad guy.
However, the agency has to wait until it gets reports of interference and other trouble from other users before it even knows there's a problem. Then it has to set up the sting—physically, with bodies in the field, and at the appropriate time as to obtain the evidence. That's hard if the pirate is mobile, and overall it's geared towards identifying individuals rather than observing trends, such as a band being hijacked in its entirety for a particular niche use.
The University of Utah's project should reduce much of the work: laptops and cell phones simply collect surrounding radio frequency data and report it in real time—ironically, over radio.
"Our goal is to be able to monitor for unauthorized use 100 percent of the time, cover 100 percent of the area and cover 100 percent of the frequency, and that can only be achieved at that scale through crowdsourcing," Kasera says.

Nos jeunes Pontiaçois / The young people of Pontiac
Get some colour into your life this summer with bright new art courses at the Pontiac School of the Arts in Portage du Fort. This year, classes include watercolour painting, printmaking, screen writing and floor cloths (a durable painted canvas mat).
Now in it's 14th year, the Pontiac School of the Art's mission is to inspire creative discovery in everyone.
Some might say that young people are glued to their screens all day and all night. But that's harder to say when so many bright young people are running, kicking, playing and laughing in Luskville every Monday evening.
Community soccer classes started up on Tuesday, May 1st at the Luskville Recreational Park. The two- to four year-olds play in the softball field. The older group, aged five and up, play on the soccer field to the north.
A hilarious one-hour play called Maid to Order was presented in Shawville April 13 and 14 by local theatre troupe, the Pontiac Community Players (PCP). Sold-out on both evenings, the profits will go towards the Pontiac High School restoration project to update lighting, sound and add a 20-foot electronic screen to be used for both school and community movie screenings. Further improvements to seating and ventilation are planned.
Above, hapless police officers Craig Young (left) and Neil MacIntosh (right) ask the slightly-shady Charles Cambin (Richard Armitage) to explain himself.
Spring is here we're told, but it's still so gray and cold outside. Where can you take your under 5's when you have exhausted all the DVD options? To the free playgroup in Luskville, of course.
Above from left, Comité 0-5 animator Lisa Corrigan with personal friend Helga the rabbit and an ardent admirer at the Luskville playgroup's Easter event.
Better than a new welcome mat, a shining floor now greets visitors to the Maison de la Famille in Quyon, thanks to funding from the Ministère de la Famille. A new epoxy surface was poured last week, creating a seamless floor running though out the reception area, the Clothing Counter, kitchen and laundry.
It is indisputably still cold outside, baby. Éric Hébert-Daly, the new student minister at Quyon United Church, has a new idea to warm all of us up.
On Monday 12, and on every Monday from now, Hébert-Daly will be opening the doors of the church at 1088 Clarendon Street in Quyon (next to the Post Office) between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. to offer warm drinks at no charge.
Once more the Quyon Lions' Club Santa Claus Parade, held Saturday December 9, was a great success. Warmly-dressed families lined the streets to enjoy the decorated floats, horses and of course, St. Nick himself. As the Beach Barn is conspicuously absent this year, the parade's normal route was reversed, with participants gathering at the Ste. Marie's Catholic church parking lot and walking down the hill to the intersection with Clarendon. From there, the parade continued to the Onslow Elementary School gym where hot food and drinks were served as kids lined up to speak to Santa about a few important matters.
The jolly jingle of Christmas bells mingled with the merry cling-clang on forks on plates at the annual Parents of the Municipality of Pontiac (PMP) Breakfast with Santa event on Saturday December 2nd.
Slippery driving and chilly weather did not deter participants from attending the annual craft bazaar and breakfast event at the Luskville Community Centre on Sunday, November 19th.
Two months ago, Ottawa high-school teacher Julia Brown* was a healthy woman enjoying a summer day at a riverside cottage. Yet a bite from a tick nearly took her life. But it was not Lyme disease; it was something worse.

The 3 elements of your infinite Core Being:
Your Core Process sums up that thing you do when you're completely in the zone, and creating massive value in the world. And loving every moment! This is the 'What' of your Core Being, and is concerned with your unique value and talent in the world - Andrew's is "Encouraging Potential"
Your Core Purpose is the big overall goal your personal Core Process is there to help you achieve. This is the 'Why' of your Core Being, and is all about finding your purpose and passion in the world - it is very personal and often only really means anything to you - so we won't share Andrew's here!

These 3 elements represent the infinite flow of Why and How you deliver your unique value to others and become energised by your work in the world
What is Core Being & how do we discover it?
Session 1 - Core Process
Your Core Process is a phrase that sums up what you are doing in all those wonderful times when you have been at your absolute best. We use Skype or the telephone to create a safe space for you to develop a rich picture of those times in your life – people find it a delightful experience to re-live those joyful moments and gain a deeper insight into what was going on. This session creates the foundation of your deepening grasp of your unique magnificence, so it lasts as long as it needs to – there is literally no limit, we keep going until you find exactly the right words for you, the ones that deeply resonate with your infinite being.
Session 3 - Core Purpose & Core Practice
This combined session takes place about 4 weeks after session 1, also by Skype or telephone. We start by exploring the motivation behind your Core Process, the big picture reason it is so important to you, what it is all for. Knowing and owning your Core Purpose provides a compass to help you direct yoru magnificence towards an end that has true meaning for you.
Then we get into the detail of the specific actions you take that best allow you to use your Core Process to serve the world and the universe. The session usually lasts about 2 hours – although once again, we keep going until you are completely lit up by the words you select and what they mean to you.
Sessions 2 and 3 to 8 - Integration Coaching
How different would your life be if you could easily and clearly articulate your Joyful Genius and Core Being to others – and to yourself? Knowing the components of your Core Being is one thing – integrating them into your everyday life is something completely more meaningful.

Each monthly call will help you remain on track with your genius and serve your tribe to the maximum, by dealing not only with the nuts and bolts of creating a viable business model, but also making sure you continue to express the full range of it so you get to live the Joyful Genius life every day - attracting the perfect clients, getting paid premium rates, and actually believing you are worth it, so you can make your difference in the world.
3 Sessions - Genius Resonance Calls
How much more powerful do you want to be in your genius? When you are living a Joyful Genius life, you effortlessly attract your ideal clients , they willingly pay your premium rates, and you get to make your difference in the world & fulfill your life's purpose. And 'real' life has a nasty habit of distracting you from that purpose – these in-depth calls reconnect you to your Joyful Genius and keep you focused on the enormous value you can create for your tribe. Each hour-long call takes place every three months throughout the adventure (months 6, 9 and 12) to keep you in touch with your genius and not just knowing it and being able to articulate it with ease and joy, but also truly owning it as part of your essential being.
2 Sessions - Personal Brand Congruence
An important part of living as your authentic self and truly bringing your Joyful Genius to the world is how you feel about yourself when you show up. How you dress and how you present yourself is a fundamental element of that, and feeling comfortable about how the real you is showing up in the world is essential. In these two individual sessions with our experienced image coach you will identify a personal brand image that is 100% congruent with your Core Being.
Additional Support
As it is a fundamental part of your Core Being and how it contributes to you living your Joyful Genius, understanding how Core Process fits in with your work and your life is massively important.

plant quick find clear
Grape Ivy
Grape ivy, also known as oakleaf ivy, is the most widely grown species of Cissus. It has shiny, deep green leaves. The plant develops curling tendrils that cling to a stake or trellis. Give the plant medium light, keep the soil evenly moist, and grow it at room temperature for best results. Avoid overwatering, which can cause leaves to drop.
how to grow Grape ivy
more varieties for Grape ivy
Begonia cissus
Cissus discolor dazzles with its silver splashed foliage with maroon undersides. It requires warmer temperatures and higher humidity than grape ivy, so it is more challenging to grow.
Grape ivy
Cissus rhombifolia grows well in a hanging basket or trained to a moss pole. It makes an excellent plant for the office or home.
Oakleaf ivy
Cissus rhombifolia 'Ellen Danica' is a popular compact variety with deeply cut leaves that resemble those of an oak tree. Grow it just as you would grape ivy.
Wax cissus
Cissus rotundifolia, with fleshy, waxy, rounded green leaves is more succulent than other members of the family. That means it needs less water. It also is a slower grower, maintaining a rounded tabletop form with just a little pruning.

Hey guys, I continuously update my post, so feel free to check in from time to time. I have made multiple updates since the posting of this thread. You can also leave feedback here, I check the forums weekly.
For whatever reason I can't link any photos or attach them through file, but fortunately I have created another thread which contains pictures and a video. Basically I have created an ecosystem that contains Utricularia G. and a colony of Ostrocods, Annelids, Malaysian Trumpet snails, Ramshorn snails, a Cyclops, and a Ghost Shrimp sp.
In time I may relocate the ghost shrimp when Notonectidae (backswimmers/backstriders) come during the monsoon season, and capture a few to observe for a bit. I might feed extras to my nepenthes, I used to feed them to my passed Ventrata as a annual snack years ago.

'Marginalised' Christians: new study paints a bleak picture
A survey published this week by Premier Christian Communications indicates that Christians in the UK are feeling increasingly marginalised.
Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern, which offers legal support to Christians who say they have been unfairly treated, said the results resonate "very much" with their experiences over the years.
People try and say that our cases are the exception … I think what [Premier's] research shows is that it's the tip of the iceberg and actually underlying this there is a very strong groundswell of feeling and experience of prejudice or marginalisation.
Almost 12,000 people took part in the the "State of the Faith survey", which showed that 93 percent think Christianity is being marginalised in society and four in five believe Christianity isn't given the same respect as other faiths
Nola Leach, Chief Executive of Care – a Christian group which lobbies politicians – agreed that there are "worrying signs" Christian viewpoints are being side-lined.
Premier CEO Peter Kerridge, above, said:
It's clear that we are not the liberal accepting society we think we are if we don't tolerate and accept everyone, including Christians.
People of faith, from all religions should be allowed to live and work in freedom. They should be encouraged to hold to their faith not just in their homes and churches, mosques, synagogues and temples, but also in their jobs and hobbies and in the public square.
This survey clearly indicates how it feels to be an ordinary Christian today. I suspect that other faith groups may have similar stories to tell.
Alex Cunningham, a Christian Labour politician, said that more than nine in ten participants feeling their faith is marginalised was a "frightening statistic".
The MP for Stockton North said efforts by believers to challenge negative perceptions among non-believers could help lead to fewer Christians feeling marginalised.
Four in five respondents said they did not believe Christian is given the same respect in society as other worldviews and religions.
Theologian, Andrew Graystone was sceptical about the survey, saying that Christians sometimes like to believe their being "squeezed out", and that life for UK believers isn't always as bad as they may think.
Christians have got enormous freedom to operate and to act. Nobody stops Christians from meeting together. Nobody stops Christians from standing for parliament. Nobody stops Christians from talking about their faith.
For crying out loud, they even have a Minister for Faith and Integration – Lord Bourne, above, who said:
The Christian faith contributes a huge amount to our communities and allows other faith groups to flourish. We've been clear that people need to be able to feel strong in their religious identities and are making sure that the voices of people of faith are heard in Government.
Kerridge went on to say:
This is not the clergy talking, or academics theorising, or politicians making a case. These are ordinary Christians who feel overwhelmingly that their Christian beliefs are being marginalised and that as a result it is becoming far more difficult to live as a person of faith in the UK.
The statistics also suggest a generational gap in views on Christian marginalisation. Asked whether Christianity is being marginalised in society, 94 percent of pensioners agreed compared to only 77 percent of 15-19 year olds.
Paradoxically, 70 percent of 15-19 year olds said they had experienced prejudice because of their faith – compared to just 51 per cent of pensioners.
Premier Christian Communications is now calling on politicians, employers, the media and wider society to do more to ensure Christianity is given the same respect as other faiths and that ordinary Christians should feel able to be open about their beliefs both at home and at work, whilst asking the Church to do more to widen its reach.
Kerridge said:
We want the church to be much more supportive of Christians who aren't necessarily found in church on a Sunday. There are millions of people who are trying to live out their lives and for whatever reason can't be in church on a Sunday.
It sounds obvious but they could 'extend their opening hours', experiment with new ways of using the tens of thousands of church buildings, and generally really adapt to enable normal ordinary Christians to feel they are really part of a community.
It would show that Christianity isn't an institution run by a professional elite ministering to the holy few.
• The graphic at the top of the page was taken from Ordinary Christian, which is exhorting people to sign a pledge which says:
I support ordinary Christians and believe that people of all faiths should be able to be themselves at home, work, education and in public life.
If you provide Ordinary Christian your cellphone number it will send you "seven days of free prayers to strengthen your faith".

Awwwh …diddums den. Poor wickle cwistians
[…] By Barry Duke […]
At least Andrew Graystone seems capable of a balanced comment.
These people excel at missing the point. Most of us don't care whether people are Christians or not. What we object to is the assumption of the serious god-botherers that they have a right to impose their views on others without question. They do not like being challenged or opposed. The problem with Tim Farron was not his Christian views in themselves; it was his fervent evangelism. (He once said something to the effect – sorry, can't find the quote – that those who don't believe in the resurrection are mad). That is what really gets people's backs up.
As has been said more times than I care to recall, religion should be an activity for consenting adults in private.
All these poor put-upon religious believers could throw off the shackles of oppression with nothing but a little testable evidence to distinguish their beliefs from delusional disorders.
StephenJP: I don't remember that, though Christians ("Who Moved the Stone?") have for years been banging on about the "evidence" for the resurrection being "overwhelming" etc., and telling us that no rational person could possibly deny the fact that it took place. I remember all that sort of thing from my youth, and it can be very convincing when all you hear is one side of the argument. Here, however, is evidence that shows just why Farron had to go, as he completely screws up his opportunity to ridicule Saint Theresa of the May over her Easter protestations, and comes up with something which reads more like a parody from Private Eye:
Turn their thousands of church buildings into pubs. That will make them useful and bring the "faithful" back.
I suggest this usual whinging from the terminally delusional is because they are being called out every time they try to use their superstition to prevent the rights and freedoms of non-believers; i.e. they claim they are being discriminated against because they can't discriminate.
As others have said, I don't care that theses stupid, credulous people believe fairy tales as long as they keep it to themselves.
Yep. This is real persecution, and further proof of what a mealy-mouthed arsehole Zuckerberg is.
What they mean is that they are not being obeyed.
It's relativigtic: they can't get over the facts that Muslims take their religion more seriously, defend it more vigorously and are always in the news.
And they're going to love this news:
She is a bête noire of the Daily Mail, and, with any luck, Paul Dacre will have an apoplectic fit!
"with any luck, Paul Dacre will have an apoplectic fit!"
Bring it on !
To translate…Mommy! I'm being called names and being picked on by the other kids, and they are making me cccrrryyyyy!!!!!
Be careful what you ask for. Christianity enjoys a privileged position over other religions in the UK. I'm all for treating them all equally.
As for equal standing with other world views, show us the same level of evidence and you can be on a par with science and secularism.
I'm happy to give Christians exactly the same respect that I give to other faiths…
Oppression = finding that a privilege you didn't know you had has come under scrutiny.
And this from a country that still has a 'national' religion.
Do these twits ever step back and wonder why their faith(s) are held in such low regard? Could it be the basic "faith" nonsense, crazy, silly dogmas, the institutionalised bigotry, the super silly ritual carry on, the vacuousness of the people who take it on themselves to tout the tripe, the overt criminal behaviour of so many, protected by their various church facilities, even the silly hats? Yep, probably.

The Focus Desk offers adjustability and versatility that represent a major improvement over fixed standing desks, which do not respond to a student's changing needs, or desks that can only be adjusted with help from a teacher or custodian.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 04, 2015
For years, psychologists and teachers have recognized that children with learning differences like ADHD and dyslexia need to have "movement breaks" during the school day. These breaks – like sending the child on an errand to the library or out to get a drink of water – were seen as opportunities to release the pressure of nervous energy that made it difficult for these children to behave "appropriately." Appropriate behavior, in this approach, was defined as sitting still and, from the teacher's perspective, staying focused.
But what if true focus in a child with learning differences doesn't fit that model? New research suggests that fidgeting and squirming by children with learning differences actually reflects a coping mechanism that enhances the child's focus. According to a 2014 study from the University of Central Florida, children with ADHD can better access their working memory when they have sensory feedback from movement. Working memory is essential to processing multi-step directions, keeping track of short term learning, and thereby successfully completing tasks. This benefit of unconscious movement has to be accessed as the need arises; sending the restless child out for a walk interrupts the learning process.
In addition, research from Mayo Clinic endocrinologist Dr. James Levine suggests that the benefits of movement in learning extend to the general population of students. According to Dr. Levine, forced inactivity hinders children's ability to learn and also contributes to the national epidemic of childhood obesity.
The better approach, then, is to find ways to accommodate all students' need for movement in ways that promote self-regulation and minimize classroom disruption. These accommodations are based on personal self-awareness and responsibility, and therefore can be integrated into any mainstreamed class setting for all students. A classroom environment that teaches how to move in a non-disruptive way will be supportive of those needs. This approach has the very important advantage of not singling out the children who are dealing with the added challenge of learning differences. To create classrooms that support self-regulated movement, schools need to look at both classroom equipment and policy.
Next-generation classroom desks feature specialized design elements that enable children to satisfy their movement needs without interrupting the teacher or distracting others. One novel approach, developed by The Marvel Group in cooperation with teachers and students at the Hyde Park Day School, employs a student-controlled silent lift mechanism that enables students to shift from sitting to standing whenever needed, without disrupting the class. The new Marvel Focus Desk (http://marvelfocusdesk.com) offers adjustability and versatility that represent a major improvement over fixed standing desks, which do not respond to a student's changing needs, or desks that can only be adjusted with help from a teacher or custodian. The Focus Desk also includes lockable casters to make desk re-arrangements easy, integrated file hangers to help with organization, and drop shelves to provide extra work space, and other unique features designed by suggested by teachers.
As for policy, teachers must be willing to empower children to be in charge of their physical state in the classroom. Effective teaching in such a setting includes guidance on how to satisfy the need to move in responsible, non-disruptive ways. Teachers who encourage self-regulation provide their students with skills that will last throughout their school years and beyond.

Last year the quilt guild I belong too decided to make Alpha Quilts for the new local Children's Museum in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The quilt needed to be 18″ x 22″ and have the letter prominently displayed on the quilt, other than that we were free to do what we wanted with our letter. I drew the letter "Z".
I found that there are lots of words that start with Z, but not lots of words that small children would know and that I could represent through fabric. I finally decided to start with "Zoo" and try to figure out how to incorporate a zoo into a quilt. As my idea progressed I decided to make it a "Z" Zoo, filled with things starting with the letter Z. My son then came up with name of the Zoo – "Zoinks Zoo".
Here are some pictures of the quilt I created for my letter "Z".
If you would like to see all the Alpha Quilts built, please visit this link (MMQG Alpha Quilts).

"It's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing." – Steve Jobs
White Hill's STEAM: Inventors and Makers
Robotics and Pre-Engineering teacher Lisa Skinner, Science teacher Andrea Watson and English/History Bianca Vidal lead a dynamic STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) program now flourishing at White Hill Middle School with 3 6th grade Inventors Lab (two are funded by YES) and 3 7th/8th grade Makers & Hackers and Project Make engineering classes.
This integrated program inspires and challenges students to explore real world problems through engineering principles, 3D printing, design & building, programing, rockets, circuits, as they also develop their communication, research and presentation skills. Students recently created a "Design-for-a-Cause" T-Shirt project, implementing product design, application and marketing with a global, humanitarian focus.
In 2016-17 YES is also partially funding equipment essential for the program.
Why STEAM?
Where scientific disciplines were once considered independent academic fields, the inter-disciplinary approach in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) is now seen as critical cultivation of critical thinking and innovative problem-solving skills for students entering a future with myriad possibilities, as well as challenges. The artist now inspires the scientist, who informs the engineer, and so on; working across disciplines collaboratively.
John Maeda, former president of the Rhode Island School of Design, remarks on the relationship between art and science in Scientific American, "Both are dedicated to asking the big questions placed before us: 'What is true? Why does it matter? How can we move society forward?' These are the kind of questions that students creatively tinker and navigate in hands-on STEAM learning."

Judging was difficult and time consuming. Each entry was first screened for adhearance to the contest rules. Once the entry passed the rules screening our panel of ten judges scored each entry according to the following formula: 50% on originality and creativity, 25% on the execution (creation of the costume) and 25% on the answers to the questions the contestant provides. The top four scores in each of the seven costume categories determined the winners.
Thank you again to everyone who participated. We hope these amazing costumes inspire many more to enter our 2015 Halloween costume contest.

I am not a huge dirt jump fan, and I certainly don't condone riding a bike without a helmet, but check out this video. Some awsome trails that were in Washington (state) in the USA. Unfortunately they have apparently been bulldozed.

My little sister and I took off for three days to Lanai. We both had some time off during fall break. She had never been and I, well, needed to s.l.o.w…. d.o.w.n. There is no greater place to do that.
The faithful West Maui's looking good and as we shuttled off.
I felt very privileged to stay right in Lanai city in a really wonderful old plantation house.
So quiet, so quaint. Every time I laid down, I fell asleep.
It was perfection.
We spent evenings up at Koele Lodge taking in the country air. We played a little pool, a little croquet and a little golf.
We made early mornings an adventure down to Hulopo'e Bay below Manele Bay Hotel. We did the hike to Sweetheart Rock and laid around hoping and praying the dolphins were going to to a little pod dance for us.
Guess what…no dolphins…this time:(
These banana crepes were from Canoe's, they were called the Jack Johnson and yes they tasted as marvelous as they looked. We stayed three days and ate at all three of the restaurants in town.
Here are some kickback locals cruisin' at the supermarket.
This is the perfect picture to reveal how most Lanai men spend their days.
So thankful for a quick restful adventure and for spending quality time with my sister.

ISO: open minded for change
Open minded, Open for Change
Dr Zhang Xiaogang, ISO President
40th ISO General Assembly
Participants from over 130 countries gathered at the General Assembly of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in Berlin (Germany) 20-22 September 2017 under the motto "open minded, open for change". The meeting simultaneously marked the 70th anniversary of ISO and the 100th anniversary of DIN (German Institute for Standardization) - one of ISO's oldest members and host of this years' General Assembly.
ISO week Berlin, Germany
ISO, a long-standing Observer organization of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, is composed of national standards bodies covering 163 countries. Differently from Codex standards, the 21.500 standards developed by ISO are for sale and not only cover the area of food, but all aspects of technology and business.
International cooperation
Brigitte Zypries, German Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy
The General Assembly stressed how international cooperation will determine the future success of ISO and declared to initiate, strengthen and expand cooperation with its sister organizations IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) as well as other organizations. ISO intends to optimise coordination of technical work and the development of standards solutions for the digital age to ensure ISO meets current and future needs of stakeholders.
ISO and Codex
ISO and Codex already cooperate closely particularly on methods of analysis. Codex standard (CODEX STAN 234-1999) includes many ISO standards by reference that cna be used for routine examination or control purposes. Codex has also been invited to actively participate in the ongoing revision of ISO 22000 (food safety management system) with regards to the integration of the HACCP principles.
This year, the Secretariat of the Codex Alimentarius Commission will perform an internal review of its cooperation and collaboration with other international standard setting organizations that hold Codex observer status. This review will include ISO.

$10,000,000 Is Missing.
Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.
How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?
When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.
And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?
He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.
Todd M. Johnson has practiced as an attorney for over 30 years, specializing as a trial lawyer. A graduate of Princeton University and the University of Minnesota Law School, he also taught for two years as adjunct professor of International Law and served as a US diplomat in Hong Kong. This is his debut novel. He lives outside Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife and daughter. Visit his website at www.authortoddjohnson.com.
This debut novel is a fascinating legal thriller based on the world of legal ramblings between a struggling young lawyer and a big law firm. It is a story of greed and corruption by a well established law firm trying to discredit a young attorney and his client out of the justice they desperately are searching for.
With very little evidence of a deposit of a large sum of money, they have to rely on determination, knowledge of the law, an honest former employee, and their own desperate need to improve the situation of their personal finances.
The Deposit Slip has a well written story line with many twist and turns. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the world of legal controversies where sometimes truth and justice become a cloudy conclusion, and outcomes are instead based solely on financial gain.

4 Ways Your Hotel Can Avoid EOFY Stress
The end of the financial year always comes at the same time—yet for many hotel managers, the timing is never good. A couple of months before EOFY, your to-do list suddenly balloons with financial reporting and budgeting tasks. Maybe there's a little cash left over from last year's budget, and you need to spend it in a hurry. What's more, the sales figures are not as robust as you'd hoped. You're worried about how upper management will view your performance, so you engineer a big promotion to improve the numbers. This doesn't quite work as you thought and as a result of all this, you go through twice as much coffee and get half your normal quota of sleep. Eventually the whole thing blows over, and it went just well enough to repeat itself next June. (Or not, and you are now looking for another job, but that's for another article….)Read More
4 Things Your Competitors Can Teach You About Real Estate Development
When we look at the world of entrepreneurs, innovators and visionaries, it is rare to see someone who first completed a business degree. Indeed, many came to success from either a sciences background (think Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony) or no qualifications at all (eg Richard Branson). They learned more by making mistakes and moving on. To underscore this point, Morita wrote a book in 1966 called Gakureki Muyō Ron ("Never Mind School Records") in which he stressed that one's performance in school is not necessarily an indicator of success in business.Read More

This Creamy Avocado Soup Has Half Your Daily Fiber
Jennifer Causey
If your blender doesn't get the soup silky-smooth, add up to 1/4 cup more water and blend some more. Press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the soup as it chills to help prevent browning.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine avocados, tofu, 2 cups water, lettuce, peas, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a blender, and process until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap, and chill until ready to serve, up to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Toss together tomato, bell pepper, scallions, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Ladle soup into 4 bowls. Top with tomato mixture, and drizzle evenly with olive oil. Serve chilled.

The US-American solar heating and cooling industry has been receiving significantly less attention than solar electricity technologies. An example of that is the webpage "My Solar Job", which gathers profiles of people who have worked in the solar industry in the States since June 2012. So far, 148 US-Americans have posted a picture which shows them working with solar technology. Only a few of them are actually from the solar heating and cooling industry, whereas the majority works in the photovoltaic business.http://mysolarjob.tumblr.com/

There is now one more solar process heat installation in the US – and it is one of the country's largest, too. Since October 2011, more than 50 people were working onsite, 7 days a week, to put the system in place. 84,000 ft2 of collector area (7,804 m2) are going to supply an estimated 100,000 gallon (378,541 litres) of hot water (160-180 °F = 71 to 82 °C) per day. The water will be used in the turkey processor´s company in St Pauls, North Carolina. Contractor and owner of the solar thermal system is FLS Energy, one of the major developers of commercial solar thermal installations in the US. The commissioning of the new system was officially announced at a press conference at the beginning of April. Photo: FLS Energy

French women's claim that they never get fat is about to be tested by none other than Scarlett Johansson. The movie star and her French husband Romain Dauriac have announced that they are opening a gourmet popcorn shop in Paris they are calling "Yummy Pop."
"It has been a dream of mine and my family for several years to bring our favorite American snack to our favorite European City!" Johansson said in a statement. "I am so excited to introduce Yummy Pop, a labor of love and Epicurean enthusiasm. My hope is for Yummy Pop to become a Parisian snacking staple and a symbol of friendship between my two most beloved cities, Paris and New York." Just like the Statue of Liberty!
The store is located in the trendy Marais district, and will have a soft opening tomorrow and a grand opening sometime in the future. The shop will rotate flavors based on what's in season, but a sampling of what will be available include: Truffle Parmesan and Sage, Real Vermont Maple, Real Vermont Cheddar, Sea Salt and Olive Oil, Strawberries and Cream and Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

Sheriff increases efficiency for victims and justice- 1st in the USA
RICHLAND COUNTY, SC - 1st Sheriff and 1st Internationally Accredited Laboratory in the Country to have RapidHIT 200 online; DNA results now available in 90 minutes from 24-hours -- Eliminates or identifies suspects, closure and justice for victims.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott announced today the expansion of his forensic services through the addition of a unique instrument which will join the team of Forensic Scientists already helping the Department solve cases and help to the community.
Sheriff Leon Lott's passion and constant pursuit of the most advanced technology has allowed him to acquire a $250,000 instrument at no charge to the taxpayers. The Sheriff stated that, for certain types of samples, the RapidHIT 200 is projected to replace four major pieces of instrumentation already existing in the laboratory; and will allow the three current DNA analysts to reduce costs and directly affect investigations in progress and even target trends in our neighborhoods.
Sheriff Leon Lott stated that the Department's DNA Laboratory staff has been working with the California based IntegenX to bring the RapidHIT 200 to Richland County. The Sheriff stated that IntegenX has provided the equipment to the Department in exchange for the purchasing of IntegenX's "kit" to process the DNA samples. The Sheriff added that this highly sophisticated instrument, along with the highly trained Department's Forensic Science staff, is already successfully using RapidHIT 200 to solve cases.
Sheriff Leon Lott stated that between December 2013 and February 2014 the Department was investigating a series of burglaries in the Northeast Richland County area. The Sheriff stated that as the department received tips and followed up on leads the Forensic Laboratory began processing DNA left at 5 of the homes. Within two hours of processing one of the scenes, DNA scientists connected one of the three suspects with the burglary trend, using RapidHIT 200. Investigators had identified three people (one of which was a 16 year old juvenile) who they were able to compare DNA from the scene to and subsequently charge in connection with the burglary trend – taking these criminals off our streets.
Sheriff Leon Lott added that ruling out suspects is just as important as identifying them. With this added technology, to the Department's forensic arsenal, investigators will be able to even more accurately solve cases.
Sheriff Leon Lott stated that our mission is to protect from the criminals; and apprehending criminals is one corner stone to doing this. To that end, Sheriff Leon Lott will continue to pursue technology and embrace innovation in an effort to mproving the quality of life in our communities.

dogs on leash
cross country skiing
A great cross country ski run through the Huron National Forrest.
Trails are great for spring hiking.
We did a portion of this trail (about 3.5 miles) and it was a nice easy hike. Even thought it was a holiday weekend, we were the only people on the trail (that we saw). Very serene and relaxing hike.
Nice rolling hills throughout the trail.
Used to go cross country skiing out here with my dad and sisters when we were kids. We have a good story or two about some black diamond hills and getting lost on the trail after sunset... Would like to go out here again and get my boyfriend on the trails this time. ❤❤❤

:: print. cut. resolve. ::
i'm back, and this time i come bearing gifts:
free. printable. resolution lists. download them here.
each list measures around 4" by 6" so you can print them out, write down your goals (let's keep it to two or less, eh? give ourselves a chance?), and then stick them on your fridge, your bulletin board, your mirror, or in the front of your journal or calendar: right where you can see them (and remember them).
it may sound strange for me to admit it, but the top contenders for my resolution (a few years back i promised myself i'd only make one resolution each year and that it would be something i'd enjoy achieving rather than dread facing) are these: to be more vain, or to be more selfish.
to me these are really two different sides of the same coin. they're both borne of the understanding that i need to put myself just a little bit higher on the priority list. now that i've got two kids (holy crap! when did that happen? i've got kids multiple now?) and a business i'm busting my ass to grow (to put it eloquently) i just think that 2010 is going to be a crucial taking-care-of-myself year.
what are you resolving to do in 2010?
